There are few religious figures more Catholic than Saint Thomas Aquinas, a man credited with helping to shape Catholicism of the second millennium. In Never Doubt Thomas, Francis Beckwith employs his own spiritual journey from Catholicism to Evangelicalism and then back to Catholicism to reveal the signal importance of Aquinas.

It delves into the importance of natural rights and moral law in a secular context. Through a thoughtful examination of political thought, Francis J. Beckwith argues that effective governance can enhance personal and spiritual development, presenting a nuanced perspective on the relationship between faith and politics.
